Here is your April Bulletin
Mary Feilding Care Home
Several newspaper reports alert us to the sale of Mary Feilding Care Home, Highgate, where Hetty Bower, our founding member and Britain’s oldest anti-war campaigner, died aged 108 in 2013. Some of the present residents of over 100 years old have 3 months to find a new home.
Our MP, Catherine West, asks us to sign her petition here to halt the plans.
